Fund Raising

Charleston, WV, Area Alumnae Chapter

To ensure that we can provide support to our philanthropic projects as well as our local collegiate chapter, we will hold different fund raising events throughout the year. Funds will be allocated as voted upon by our active alumnae members.  

At the initial start-up of our chapter, we held a free car wash in South Charleston.  Many alumnae pitched in on this beautiful Saturday in September to wash a few cars and have some pizza.  The funds went to help to offset the costs of our Centennial celebration in November 1999.

 A second fund raiser was held recently.  Tammy St.Clair organized a yard sale after discovering that Putnam County was holding a community yard sale at the Hurricane Wave Pool Park.  They asked for $5 donations to set up a table.  These donations would then be used to buy recreational equipment for the local parks and schools.  All proceeds made in our sale would then go to the chapter.  The chapter voted at the March meeting to put this money into the general account and determine its use later.  Hope Adkins Fout, Heather Morris, Kristi Legg, Amy Hendershot and Tammy St.Clair donated items for a yard sale, while Amy and Tammy spent the morning of April 15th selling the items.  To see a couple pictures, click here.
